Tony Romo, everybody's favorite starlet-dating, golf-playing NFLquarterback, caught some flack Thursday from former Tampa Bay lineman WarrenSapp, who said that Romo's passion for golf hurts his play on thefootball field when it matters most.Sapp was one of the game's mostvocal and entertaining players, and he's kept a highprofile since retiring, appearing on Dancing With the Stars andShowtime's Inside the NFL. On an NFL.com live chat, Sapp took aquestion from a reader about whether Romo's dream of qualifying for theU.S. Open was the reason behind his poor playoff performances.
